Not Helping Colonel Kate.

The New England combination is so
anxious for the confiscation and obtain
ing Of the property in Utah, or else
where, belonging to the. Mormon
Church thatit does notssIwaYs engage
in truth.
Not long since Miss Colonel Kate
Fieldof the bung-starting, bush whack-
ing, religious fusileers, was engaged to
lecture in Washington on MormOnism
So far as the lecture was concerned,
it was a political and financial failure.
Reports thereof were sent out stating
that Hon. s. S. Cox member of Congress
from New York, attended the lecture
and made a characteristic speech. On
the contrary, s. s. Cox was not in
attendance at the lecture, nor had he
anything to do with it. In fact, Mr..
Cox is man who does not NEEDLE him
self concerning the private affairs of
other people and who as citizens of the
United States are dong all they can
to produce wealth, pay their way and
bring up their families to frugality,
temperance and usefulness Pome

A SCANDAL REFUTED.

One of the wickedest and most
tenaciously-clung.to ISLANDERS circulated
by the rule-or-ruin clique of Utah is
that the Mormons maintain large
lobby in Washington and spend vast
sums of money to defeat adverse legis-
lation. Of the many libels uttered
against the Saints, none has been
oftener repeated, and none more in
dustriously spread. We have shown
many times the impossibilfty that the
story could be true. If the Mormons
had expended in Washington one
tenth the money that they have been
accused of spending, they would have
been paupers long ago, and there would
be more millionaire Congressman than
there are. The Philadelphia american,
closing its editorial comments on the
Tucker bill, gives the lie to the SIAN
derers of Congressman and the Nor
mons, in the following language:
Some of the newsmongers at the capital
predicted q hard time for the bill, because
the Mormon lobby was spending money by
the handful to defeat it. The final vote
being as good as unanimous. We believe
that the Saints had no such sums to expend,
and that if they had they could have
achieved nothing by them. It is said ON
good authority that there are not more than
three or four men in the present Congress
who can be reached by that kind OF argu-
ment
The same remarks might be made in
regard 10 any anti-Mormon measure
that has come up during the past TWEEN
ty years. The votes always furnish
complete refutstion of the SANDER, for
if ever any member in Congress stands
up and asks justice for the Mormons he
is some man who is above bribery, and
to whom not even suspicion can attach.
Those who have watched the Mornlous
in their struggles to maintain their
rights, who know the history of legis
lation against them and of the at
tempted legislation, cannot saw that
money has ever been used for the. de-
tense of bills or to influence Congress-.
men.
Nevertheless, we may expect repeti-
tons of the libel. The whelps who have
circulated the story so industriousJv.
with increased venom and energy with
each succeeding Congress, care nothing
for such emphatic refutations as that
given in the House the other day, when
not dozen men voted against the most
scoundrelly bill ever offered in Congress-
They viii keep on declaring that the
Mormons are spending millions every
year in Washington, though they know
that the Mormons haven't the millions
to spend, and wouldn't spend them if
they had; and there will be peol lie to
believe the story.

WHY.
The San Francisco Alta asks:

why old the Arizona Legislature repeal
thu auti-Mormon avs of tAAt Terri DRY? We
h v. Sc u no x.i4nation OF 1t @nd would
be Il I'd to know the reason Ihe repeai Sc
cured nearly unanimous. vote, ana 10
must h We behind II some cause that mases
popular.
It is presumed that our esteemed COP
temporary means by the ''ani;Mormon
laws" the test oath act, and this pre-
sumption being correct so able Demo-
ratio paner as the Aita ought not to
have asked for reasons or explain
atioas. Fhe reason for the re-
peal of the law was found in the stat
ute tself. The act disfranchised every
Mormon in the Territory; it did not
stop at polygamists, or at those who
had broken some law, but included
every member of the Mormon church;
it disiranchised on account of belief, not
because of acts; it prohibited every man
from holding Office or voting who
would not swear, not that he twas
not a poIygamist, not that he would
not violate any law, but that he was
not a member fand a believer in the
doctrines taught by the Mormon
Church. II the Alta had known what
the law was it could not have asked
why the statute was repealed, nor been
surprised that the vote for the repeal
was nearly unanimous. Rather would
it have sought an explanation of how
so Infamous, so un.republican flaw
found its way into the statute book of
an American Territory. If there were
a law in California requiring a citizen,
as a condition to his exercise Of the
right of franchise, ID subscribe an oath
that he was not Catholic, Quaker, a
Mormon, or a believer in any other
religion. and the Legislature should re-
peal it, the Alta would not askwhy the
law was repealed, nor seek an explana4
ton as to the reasons melting the mem
bers to vote for the repeal; good and
able Democratic journal that it is, it
would denounce every legislator that
did not vote.for the repeal. ! 4
The Arizona Legislature, at the sug-
gestion and on the recommendation of
the Federal Governor, simply undid a
great wrong which its predecessor, at
the instance of few fanatics. perpe.
srated against the people of the Terri
tory; that the vote to erase the dis
graceful statute from the books was
nearly unanimous, shows that the
sense of Justice prevails quite generally
ia the Territorial Assembly.

AFTER THE constitution has been
adopted, and Utah has put on the
dignity of Statehood, We'll hear no
more about Mormon, Peoples, Gentle,
Liberal, and Anti-Mormon parties and
tickets at our elections. The division
will be into Democrats and Republicans
and our political disagreements and
differences will be fought out under the
banners of the two great parties of the
nation. 1t will seem strange but not so
strange as good.
